The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) – a global corporate noose
around U.S. local, state, and national sovereignty – narrowly passed a
major procedural hurdle in the Congress by gaining “fast track” status. …
“fast track” is a euphemism for your members of Congress … handcuffing
themselves, so as to prevent any amendments or adequate debate before
the final vote … TPP is another euphemism that is used to avoid the word
“treaty”, which would require ratification by two-thirds of the Senate.

The corporate-indentured politicians keep calling this gigantic
treaty with thirty chapters, of which only five relate to traditional
trade issues…. The other twenty-five chapters, if passed as they are,
will have serious impacts on peoples livelihoods as workers and consumers,
as well as your air, water, food, and medicines.

"Only corporations … are entitled to sue the U.S. and other governments for
any alleged harm to their profits from health, safety or other
regulations in secret tribunals that operate as offshore kangaroo
courts, not in open courts. – Ralph Nader"
